New Obsession (Old Habits)

If there's anything more bizarre than the name Bong Rodent, it's associating the name with this image, the cover of his more conservatively titled II (VII). A fairly short outing at 24 minutes, it's still one of the most inspired albums of grotesque easy listening and sampleloops you can find on short notice... or on any other kind. Some of the most underrated (though not particularly understated) down-tempo beats I've ever heard.
